    Any chance the public will finally be told how much the building ended up costing (i.e. went over budget)?

    We probably could have saved $40,000 on the doors and entrance foyer glass railings alone if more reasonable finishing materials choices were made. Clearly no expense was spared on this PLP vanity project. Do more with more !!

      I thought it came in on budget … simply because everytime it ‘went over , yet again’ they just revised the original estimate .

      I think they learned that from the Berkely debacle .. Bet they wish they had been able to apply that there too ..

        Wonder how many insiders had home rennovations on the back of this project like Berkeley?
